DISH Network 159263 User Manual

If you program the remote control to operate other equipment, refer to 
the following for remote-control operation instructions:

TVs, page C-8. 

DVD players and VCRs, page C-9.

Other DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-7.

Stereo equipment (for example, an audio amplifier programmed 
in AUX mode) uses only these buttons:  SELECT (to change 
inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.

Depending on how the remote is set up, the remote control may use 
UHF radio signals, IR signals, or both to control the receiver. However, 
only IR signals are used to control other equipment.

IR signals travel short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot go 
through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote control 
directly at the equipment you want to control, with no objects to 
block the signal path.

UHF signals travel long distances and can go through walls and 
other solid objects. Because these signals travel so far, the 
receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote 
controls. To handle this problem, you may want to change the 
remote and receiver addresses (see page 13).

If you’re set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote 
antenna is attached to the receiver’s back panel R

 input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.

Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote control to operate a 
TV. The following section uses a different method to program the 
remote control to operate a TV or other equipment (such as a DVD 
player or VCR, tuner, amplifier, audio receiver or a second TV). You 
can program the remote control by either following the instructions in 
Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3, or the 
Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 5.

When programming the remote control to operate combination 
equipment, such as a TV/DVD or a TV/VCR, program the remote 
control in one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode.
